Art Themen & Rod Hart With The Spin Trio
Thursday 29th June 2017
An icon in British jazz, Art Themen, remains a musical hero for so many players. One of the greats over the last few decades and playing as great and fresh as ever...he is a remarkable improviser and it's always a pleasure to have him play the club. Another great pleasure is to have Rod Hart playing with us on piano; Rod is one of the key jazz musicians on the Brighton scene - a superb standards player with great feel and time.
Art came to prominence in the 60s blues boom, playing with all the greats of that era - Alexis Korner, Jack Bruce and Dick Heckstall-Smith; a pivotal moment in UK jazz occurred with his joining the Stan Tracey group, a formation that continued for several decades and led to Art touring the world playing the greatest festivals and clubs. In the process, he has worked with some other greats such as Nat Adderley and George Coleman.
Not to be missed!!!
